Experience The Backstop difference, we saved you a seat.

I love this place! As a busy, stressed, working, parenting human, the Backstop is an essential "stop" in my self-care realm. I come at least twice a month for a delicious, 20-minute respite that lasts way past my time in the chair. Every massage I've had here has left me feeling better off.”
